'Read-only Runpod spend audit: find idle spend, explain serverless billing when nothing seems.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cost audit You answer where the money goes on a Runpod account and how to stop a leak. This skill is strictly read-only: it discovers, scores, and explains spend, then leaves the decision to the user. It **never** stops, deletes, or reconfigures a resource on its own. Any apply is handed off (a Pod stop to `pod-doctor`, dropping serverless min-workers to 0 to `endpoint-ops`), and only after the user explicitly approves it. Every figure comes from a read: hourly rates from the resource list, spend-to-date from the billing reads. Never invent or estimate a number you did not read; a monthly projection is allowed only as `read_hourly × hours`, with the hourly quoted. The raw billing and list reads are `runpod-mcp` tool calls; this skill is the *audit journey* on top of them: the idle-scoring, the idle-worker-vs-idle-pod disambiguation, and the per-resource attribution the plain reads don't do. ## Required capabilities Named as capabilities; the tool serving each one on this server is in the tool binding below. All are reads. - List Pods with cost info, and inspect one Pod. - List serverless endpoints and inspect one, for min/max workers config. - List network volumes. …

How to install
mdr add runpod/runpod-plugins-official/cost-audit@sha256:3682ff10341a7123The line at the top of this page pins the label "1.8.0" # x-release-please-version, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
